After the capture of Xuzhou, Su Chen has been in Donghai County and has not returned to Zhuo County, for which he has appointed Hua Xin as the assassin of Youzhou to deal with the government affairs of the seven counties of Youzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This time Yuan Shu called the emperor, when the time came to attack Yuan Shu, he convened the Wu Hall under his command to discuss the matter, and now the strategists who are still in Donghai County are Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and the generals are Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Ju Yi, Zhang He, Zang Ba and so on.

After Zhou Yu left Langya and went south, Langya was appointed by Zhuge Jin, and the army under Zang Ba was directly under the command of Su Chen.

Su Chen convened the civil and military deliberations and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Benhou received the holy decree of the imperial court, Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, established a pseudo-dynasty, and made the heavens angry and resentful, and the imperial court ordered Benhou to send troops to crusade against Yuan Shu, what are your suggestions?" ”

As soon as Su Chen's words fell, the belligerent Zhang Fei replied: "Lord, what other suggestions do you need, our army will kill it directly, and give me Lao Zhang 10,000 soldiers and horses, Lao Zhang must have beaten that Yuan Shu so much that he didn't even know his mother." ”

"Hahahaha, Yide's courage is commendable, although Yuan Shu is unpopular, but after all, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, Ben Hou didn't plan to beat Yuan Shu to death with a stick, just slowly draw it."

Hearing this, Xun You took the opportunity to say: "Lord, now there are four counties in the five counties of Xuzhou in our hands, only Xiapi has Zhang Xun and Liu Xun heavily guarded, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the soldiers are centrifuged. ”

After hearing this, Su Chen turned his head to look at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, who is the biggest family in Xiapi City?" ”

"Chen family!" Guo Jia was in charge of the bayonet, and this information came at his fingertips, and said: "Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family in Xiapi, and his son Chen Deng is now an official in Xiapi, in addition, it is Cao Bao of the Cao family, after Cao Bao defected to Yuan Shu, he served as the lieutenant of Xiapi. ”

"Chen Deng?" For this person, Su Chen was a little interested, and said: "You send someone to secretly contact Chen Deng to see if this person can be used by our army, this time Yuan Shu became the emperor, it is a good opportunity for us to take back Xiapi." ”

"The lord is wise." Cheng Yu admonished: "My lord, Xiapi is important, but Yuan Shu is entrenched in the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, which are adjacent to Guangling and are Yuan Shu's lair. ”

"Zhongde's words are reasonable." Then everyone discussed how to send troops, and finally decided that he would take command and personally recruit 100,000 soldiers to attack Yuan Shu, first capture Pi, and then attack Jiujiang.

At the same time, Yuan Shao also sent troops from Yingchuan and sent the general Yan Liang to attack Runan, while Liu Biao sent Cao Cao to attack Ji Ling in Nanyang. Sun Ce also led his troops to cross the river to attack Chao County, and at the same time, Zhou Yu's navy crossed the river from Chaisang and joined forces with Xu Sheng and Lu Dai of Anhui County to attack the counties of Lujiang.

The four people crusaded at the same time, Yuan Shu finally panicked, and hurriedly convened the strategists to discuss how to deal with himself, Yan Xiang began to complain at this time that Yuan Shu did not listen to his advice at the beginning, so that today it has become the target of public criticism.

Yuan Shu humbly admitted his mistake to the old man, and then asked: "Sir, I know that I am wrong, but now that the princes of the four roads are menacing, I don't know if Mr. has a strategy to defend against the enemy?" ”

Yan Xiang is a diehard loyalist of Yuan Shu, and at this time of crisis, of course, he must plan carefully for Yuan Shu, and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, Your Majesty should cut down the honorable name, ask the court for guilt, and then send troops to resist the siege of several princes." ”

"What? Trimming? "This is poking Yuan Shu's backbone, it took a long time to work hard, Yuan Shu is just to be the emperor, and now that he has just become the emperor, he has to let him cut his honorific title and go to the throne, how can he stand it.

"The matter of me becoming the emperor has become a fact, you don't need to discuss it anymore, the top priority is to find a way to resist a few princes."

"This ......" Yan Xiang saw that Yuan Shu had made up his mind, so he had to give up this idea and said: "Your Majesty, now that the princes of the four roads are attacking, Yan Liang is sending troops from Yingchuan, Your Majesty may wish to repair a letter to the general, after all, the general is Your Majesty's brother, Your Majesty has made it clear about the interests and disadvantages, presumably the general will not be too persecutive." ”

When Yuan Shu heard it, this was feasible, he didn't dare to say anything, the two of them were brothers-in-law, Yuan Shao issued an order to apply for Yuan Shu, which had to be a face for the people of the world, and if Yuan Shao really wanted to deal with him, he would not only send one Yan Liang to send troops from Yingchuan, so Yuan Shao still cared about his old feelings, after all, the old Yuan clan is now tied to Yuan Shu, and if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Yuan Shao will not fight with him.

"And what about the rest of the army?"

Yan Xiang was confident and replied: "Liu Biao did not dare to be an enemy of His Majesty, and only sent Cao Cao to attack Nanyang in the north, Nanyang was garrisoned by the great general Ji Ling's 100,000 soldiers and horses, with Cao Cao's strength, there was nothing to worry about for a while, Your Majesty really had to worry about Yanhou Suchen's soldiers and horses and Jiangdong Sun Ce's soldiers and horses." ”

This is true, Su Chen is a strong soldier, this time the general 100,000 soldiers attacked Xiapi, Yuan Shu had to deal with it carefully.

"For these two lines of soldiers and horses, Your Majesty can divide your troops to resist the enemy, and there are two generals Zhang Xun and Liu Xun in Xiapi who are heavily guarded, and Yanhou Suchen will be difficult to capture for a while, but it is Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Your Majesty has no naval army under his command, and Sun Ce has a naval army in his hands, Sun Ce crossed the river to attack, and His Majesty should send a general to block it!"

"Hmm!" Yuan Shu nodded, agreed with Yan Xiang's analysis, and then asked, "Which general is willing to stop Sun Ce for me?" ”

Sun Ce's name as a little overlord is not false, Yuan Shu's generals heard Sun Ce's name, they were a little afraid of war, Yuan Shu of course knew that if you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass, so he said: "Who can resist Sun Ce, I named him a hussar general, the Marquis of Wanhu!" ”

Yuan Shu looked at everyone with a smile and ordered: "With General Lei Shu as the main general, Chen Lanle will be the two deputy generals, and the generals will be 100,000, and Sun Ce must not be allowed to cross the river!" ”

"No!"

The geographical location of Xiapi is very important, if Xiapi is captured, then the gateway to Shouchun will be opened, so Su Chen attaches great importance to the battle of Xiapi.

He sent Zhang He to contact Chen Deng in the city in person, hoping to win the support of the Chen family in Xiapi, just to convince Chen Deng that there must be someone who Chen Deng was familiar with.

It happened that Mi Fang followed the team escorting grain and grass to the East China Sea, and Su Chen thought about it and asked Zhang He and Mi Fang to go to Xiapi City for a walk.

Although the Mi family is no longer in Xiapi now, there is still a manor property here, Mi Fang and Zhang He easily entered the city under the cover of the caravan, and then Mi Fang sent a greeting to Chen Deng.

Holding Mi Fang's prayer post, Chen Deng was uneasy for a while.
